The season is over, and this check the fresh shelves emptied. Durian Delivery Singapore has sold out of every fresh Mao Shan Wang line and now lists one fresh durian, an 800g XO D24 box at $48.00. Fresh Durian is out of stock on all 14 lines, so its FD35%DIS26 code has nothing to apply to. That leaves Durian 36 as the only seller here still delivering fresh Mao Shan Wang, at $28/kg, or $89.60 for an 800g box, unchanged since 19 September. Its $16/kg Hulu Wang, D24 and XO budget lines have dropped off its online shop. The good news is in the freezer: Durian Delivery cut its vacuum-packed 800g Penang MSW from $55.00 to $30.00 and its frozen Black Thorn from $70.00 to $50.00, both marked Limited Stock. At $3.75 per 100g, that frozen MSW is less than half the price of any other Mao Shan Wang on this page.
The season is over, the fresh shelves have emptied, and the freezer is where the deal is.
> Quick view: cheapest Mao Shan Wang delivered is Durian Delivery Singapore's frozen 800g Penang MSW at $30.00 (was $55.00, Limited Stock). The only fresh MSW still deliverable is Durian 36 at $89.60 per 800g. Fresh Durian is sold out on every line.
Price check, 2 October 2026: the fresh shelves emptied, the freezer got cheaper
Our 19 September check found prices rising at every fresh seller. Two weeks on, most of them have simply run out.
- Durian Delivery Singapore sold out of fresh Mao Shan Wang. Every fresh MSW, Black Gold and Black Thorn line is out of stock. Its fresh category now holds a single box: an 800g A6 Pahang XO D24 at $48.00, the cheapest fresh durian on this page.
- And it cut its frozen prices hard. The 800g Frozen Penang MSW is $30.00, down from $55.00, and the 800g Frozen Black Thorn is $50.00, down from $70.00. Both are marked *Limited Stock*. Frozen Hulu, Kun Bao and Milky Red Prawn are out of stock.
- Fresh Durian is sold out on all 14 lines, purees and puffs included. Its FD35%DIS26 code is still on the banner, with nothing to apply it to.
- Durian 36 is now the only seller here delivering fresh Mao Shan Wang, at unchanged prices: $67.20 for 600g or $89.60 for 800g of flesh. Its $16/kg Hulu Wang, D24 and XO lines are no longer listed online.
- 99 Old Trees is unchanged: Season Ended on all 16 fresh varieties, frozen MSW at the counter only.
- Royal Durian's snowskin mooncake has sold out too, leaving the MSW gelato as the only thing you can order.
- Ah Seng's online store is still closed, and its mooncake collection window ended on 25 September.
The cheapest Mao Shan Wang on this page is frozen, by a wide margin. At $3.75 per 100g, Durian Delivery's frozen Penang MSW costs a third of Durian 36's fresh box ($11.20 per 100g) and less than half of Durian 36's own frozen MSW ($8.80). Free delivery starts at $100, so three boxes plus a puree clears it.
Prices and stock still move daily. Every figure here was checked on 2 October 2026; confirm the price *and* the stock badge on the day you order.
Is durian season over in Singapore? Yes
In August 99 Old Trees advertised PAHANG SEASON NOW, Till Early September. Since mid-September it has flown Season Ended, Chilled and Frozen Durians Available, Walk-in Purchase Only, and all 16 of its fresh varieties remain closed, with prices still published but unorderable: Mao Shan Wang [D197] $88, Black Thorn [D200] $88, Tekka [D160] $72, Jinfeng [D198] $63, Johor XO $59, Ganghai $59, Black Pearl $59, Red Prawn [D175] $57, D88 $56, S17 $55, D13 $55, Bola [D199] $53, Celestial $53, Kasap Merah $52 and Sultan King [D24] $48, all per 750g.
This check the rest of the market caught up. Two of the three sellers that still had fresh Mao Shan Wang a fortnight ago have sold out, Royal Durian has not restocked since late August, and Ah Seng's online store is shut.
What it means in practice: fresh Mao Shan Wang now means Durian 36, and anything else means frozen. Durian Delivery Singapore's own season chart calls October *Low*, November *High* and December *Very High*, and describes a minor season from December to February, so the next real window is around November to December.
What a box actually costs: read this before comparing prices
Every seller here advertises a price per kilo, and none of them means a kilo of what you eat. The per-kg rate is for whole, un-husked fruit, husk and seeds and all, and the husk is most of the weight.
- Durian Delivery Singapore: an 800g pack of flesh is cut from about 3.2kg of durian with husk.
- Fresh Durian: each box holds 400g or 800g of meat, made from approximately 3.3kg of husked durian.
- 99 Old Trees: average flesh weight is 26 to 27% of the gross whole-durian weight.
So an 800g box costs roughly 3.2 times the per-kg rate. Durian 36 makes the point for you: its Mao Shan Wang is listed at "$28", but the 800g option adds $61.60, for a real price of $89.60.
| What you actually pay for one MSW box | Price | Size | Per 100g |
|---|
| Durian Delivery Singapore (frozen, Penang MSW) | $30.00 | 800g | $3.75 |
| Durian 36 (frozen MSW) | $70.40 | 800g | $8.80 |
| Durian 36 (fresh MSW, the only fresh option) | $89.60 | 800g | $11.20 |
| Durian 36 (fresh MSW) | $67.20 | 600g | $11.20 |
| 99 Old Trees (frozen, walk-in only) | $53.00 | 450g | $11.78 |
Not Mao Shan Wang but fresh and cheaper: Durian Delivery's XO D24 at $48.00 for 800g, or $6.00 per 100g.

Boxed, whole or frozen
Boxed, de-husked durian is the default for delivery: no mess, a fixed portion, and the seller has already inspected the flesh, your main protection against a bad box. Whole fruit gives you maximum freshness and an exact weight; Durian 36 sells by the kilo, and Ah Seng opens it in front of you.
Frozen is the off-season buy, and this month it is the cheapest by far. Vacuum-packed boxes are frozen on the day of harvest, so they were packed when fruit was plentiful. Durian Delivery's product page is clear about the trade-off: these are frozen, not fresh, and cannot be exchanged for fresh durian. The texture is softer after thawing, which suits desserts and purees as well as eating.
Either way, eat Mao Shan Wang the same day it is opened or thawed.
How to avoid a bad box
- Buy graded or QC'd fruit. 99 Old Trees grades MSW into Sweet & Dry, Bittersweet & Creamy and Bitter & Moist; Royal Durian postpones or refunds rather than shipping fruit that fails QC
- Choose a replacement guarantee. Durian Delivery Singapore replaces bad durians free
- Buy the most-reviewed line, not the dearest. At our last check the priciest box at Durian Delivery Singapore had 2 reviews against 252 on its standard MSW
- Look for deep golden flesh, a small seed and a bittersweet finish, the marks of real MSW
- Compare per 100g, not per kilo. The per-kg badges are quoted on whole fruit
- Sum a bundle before you trust the word SAVE. At our last check Fresh Durian's SAVE MORE bundle cost more than its three boxes bought separately
- Check stock on the day. Two of the three fresh sellers sold out within a fortnight
- Expect variation. A single box may be filled from two fruits, so slight differences within one box are normal
